Iheartcomix threw one of the best Halloween bashes of the year last Friday the 26th at Los Globos. The event titled Homo-ween included an eclectic mix of sounds ranging from techno, to electro, hip-hop and culminated with an outstanding performance by Kansas City's Missouri's electro-pop outfit Ssion.
When the clock struck midnight, Ssion took the stage and set the place ablaze. The freak-scene collective led by charismatic mastermind Cody Critchelow had everyone convulsing with delight and singing every song from their new album Bent, at the top of their lungs. think His airy and inviting voice lured everyone to the stage,
Critchelow swaggered across the small stage like a pro interacting with the eager fans and even taking song requests. When it came time to perform "Earthquake" it also became time for a haunted frenzy where people danced so hard their make up and costumes came flying off. It continued with the brightly upbeat "My Love Grows in the Dark". Nobody cared, the crowd was hooked and wouldn't stop until the last song was played. Endorphins were bursting everywhere it was amazing!
The band also offered campy over-the-top videos as part of their trademark performance. That night the venue didn't lend itself to heir elaborate stage shows involving gaudy sets and costumes, but still managed to give one hell of a performance and pack the place to capacity.
For those unaware of Critchelow's creative abilities, his extra curricular credits include album art for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, music videos for band like the liars, Peaches among others.
The place was crawling with indians, vampires, mermaids, clowns and so much more. At some point the place to too crowded you could barely move an inch to the left of to the right but it didn't matter, in the end everyone had a bloody good night.
Nice post.
